Hattie's Whale


Hattie came home from Wee Care today with an award!


It reads, "The Apple Award Goes To Hattie Jo for cutting out her whale on the lines."


This really does mean something to me as I had so much trouble getting Hattie to want to use scissors. After a particularly trying day at Wee Care that involved crying and not getting to do some of the other fun activities because she wouldn't try to cut out her project, I bought "spring back" scissors. I don't know what they are actually called, but they worked. They have a little spring that you can set so the scissors automatically open after they are squeezed shut to cut. That finally helped Hattie to figure out what to do and now she cuts like a pro!


Congratulations, Hattie!

Please let this work.


I finally got my new laptop today and I'm still trying to figure out all the bells and whistles. It came w/ Windows Vista installed and I was used to my XP programs. I can't have my old photo software and can't figure out how to upload my pics from my camera. I'm going to try w/ this post, but don't hold your breath. If I do manage to figure it out...I'll get back to taking more pics of the kids. That's been low on my list for the past couple of weeks.


Happy Wednesday!
